Thank the Spridget gods for the wisdom of the listers. Otherwise, how would
a eager but inexperienced lad like myself ever figure some of this stuff out...
I'm preparing to adjust the valve clearances on my 948, so like usual I
consult my BMC Workshop Manual and the Haynes Manual which happen to be the
two in my possession.
BMC says to do the job with the engine HOT, and gives instructions on how to
use the locknuts and adjusting screws etc. That's all.
Haynes insists the engine be cold and advises an order, and turning of the
crankshaft to position the tappet on the heel of the cam.
Hmmmmm, hot or cold? And how do I know which valve to adjust when? (Both
manuals specify .012, at least that's consistent)
Any help would be most appreciated.
Thanks,
